Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

This is real, guys.

that's what i heard, too

I won't believe it's real until people start talking pandas.

You haven't been following TechWorldNews, I see: Washington DC Zoo Working on App that Lets Humans Talk to Pandas.

That's just silly, anyone can talk to a Panda.

Barry say hi to me

anyone can talk to a Panda.

that's like saying anyone can talk to Beyoncé -- except first you need a backstage pass. And no one gets a backstage pass.

I bet she would give it to a talking panda in a heartbeat. She wouldn't even ask what it was doing there, she would be all, you, talking panda, we're going to hang. I bet she even has bamboo on her rider.

I bet she gets to beta test the app and I bet it was the panda who requested that.

The panda is all, psh, I spend all this time learning to understand human, and it turns out these fucking humans are too lazy to learn panda. I'd throw money at the problem myself if I had any thumbs, so I'll just get my girl Beyonce on it.

And yes, I know pandas have sort of fake thumbs, and no, you can't use Panda Thumbs as your stupid band names.

Actually, you totally can, Panda Thumbs is a great band name.

Latest in the Trump tax return fight: The 2nd Circuit denied Trump's request for an immediate stay while he takes the case up on appeal again. The court will hear args on the stay issue on 9/1 instead. NY DA's office agreed to give Trump until 8/28, so... pic.twitter.com/NtQ9h56z1u

lots of speculative posts about the inner life of a child itt. very cool!

(cont'd) ...Trump could try to petition the 2nd Circuit to reconsider en banc, or ask SCOTUS to step in. Absent a stay, the district court in its latest decision gave the DA's office the green light to enforce the grand jury subpoena for years of Trump's tax returns.

When President Trump mentioned Obama, someone from the crowd shouted, “Monkey!” and the president relished in it.

Disgusting.

well yeah is anyone under any delusions regarding these guys?

i just posted for the video

Since there's no Melania thread:

“Always wants me to pee on him, what the fuck?!”

Eric Trump is taking the Fifth.

You can’t take the Fifth if you didn’t have some potential criminal exposure. https://t.co/oVr1glCcgW

Between hurricanes, the RNC, covid, this ongoing NY AG stuff, the heat, more taped and otherwise on the record bullshit coming out, hints of other big news announcements imminent ... this week seems like it's just going to get crazier and crazier.

AG lays out why that legal 5th amendment defense is bogus in the filing they made to compel him to testify:

"Given the context in which this abrupt turnabout arose (purported concern about a
criminal proceeding), it is possible to read it as an invocation of the Fifth Amendment privilege.9

But is well-established that “a blanket claim of privilege could not be invoked prior to
questions actually having been asked.” Application of Waterfront Comm’n of N.Y. Harbor, 245
A.D.2d 63, 64 (1st Dep’t 1997); see also Matter of Parkhouse v. Stringer, 17 Misc. 3d 1119(A)
(Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 2007), aff’d, 55 A.D.3d 1 (1st Dep’t 2008), aff’d, 12 N.Y.3d 660 (2009).
Hence, the Fifth Amendment cannot plausibly support Eric Trump’s blanket refusal to testify.
Nor has Eric Trump established any other basis to refuse to comply with his “general duty to
give what testimony one is capable of giving.” Jaffee v. Redmond, 518 U.S. 1, 9 (1996).
10 "

So that means ... you can't preemptively plead the fifth? I guess that makes sense.

y'know just in case

"I plan to plead the Fifth about this crime we are about to commit, if anyone ever asks in the future."

Mueller Deputy Andrew Weissman now on MSNBC: “This is really serious. This is not a bit of hidden income. There are allegations that Eric Trump and the Trump Organization did not report $100 million in income. And that’s just one allegation.“

In other words, we got him!

But what if....

It....

DIDN'T...

Happen

That's fair, if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, it Trump and his family.

9 years pass....

"and news today that after the initial trump organization case rose all the way to the state supreme court and then passed back down to a circuit court and then appealed back up to the second highest court, then stayed and revived and sustained and rejected and demoted and then puffed up a little with mysterious drugs with names that look like social security numbers, the allegations against eric trump jr have been dropped"

i love how magically, 2.5 months before the election, so much progress is suddenly being made in the case

how long ago did mueller's team refer this to SDNY?

I think this stretches back to at least Michael Cohen's arrest.

We brought out the goof Don J
The Grand Ole Party and me

Permanent name change? Subtle dynasty start so nobody notices. Used to be an elective role now going to be in the family so to honour tradition we thought we'd honour it.
Hope not.

Or like another bunch of primitivity from Queens take it on as a group surname for all the bruddas and especially the sista.
Now for a minimalist solo from Ivanka President that lasts 4 years.

Just having a normal one:

i'm leaning towards dud

give him a chance

Another 12 years in the White House and he’ll grow on you.

The thirty seconds of the president petulantly demanding that a reporter take off his mask here is just the prelude to an amazing clip. https://t.co/Ed3tiVfsu0

Former White House Press Secretary wrote in her book—"Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House"—that Trump told her the video for 'November Rain' was "the greatest music video of all time" and made her watch it with him in the Oval Office to prove his point, though she "didn't disagree."

"They take our money and spend it on building airplanes, ships, rockets, and muscles."

Not that anyone gives a shit, of course.

I was going to ask if this was 100% a new accuser, or more in-depth reporting on an existing one. I'm assuming the former, but I've lost track.

This is a new accusation as far as I can tell.

It still astounds me that absolutely fuck all happens with these mountains of accusations. But hey, at least we booted Al Franken out of public life for good for that tasteless photo!
